Not My Grandmother’s Braciole
Karma's Grandma Pauline made a wonderful braciole, and it was one of the things Karma missed about being a vegetarian. And while she still makes her grandmother's version for the people in the house who eat meat, she wanted to share the love of this dish with her whole family.
Ingredients:
- 400 g Vital Wheat Gluten
- 15 oz Lentils (can)
- 1 Onion, peeled quartered
- 0.5 cup Butter or Olive oil
- 1.25 cup Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 8 oz Crushed Saltines
- 12 oz Mozzarella Grated
- 2 cup Tomato Sauce
Directions:
Place gluten flour, lentils (rinsed and drained) and onion in food processor and blend until well combined.
Melt butter and add to water and pour into the food processor and continue to mix until sticky dough forms. Do not mix for more than 2-3 minutes. You do not want to over activate the gluten so that it will not easily roll.
Next fry the seitan on two sides in hot oil.
